A common documented Unity workflow problem, not a single named shipped-game incident: two developers edit the same scene, Git conflicts, and plain text merging cannot understand scene structure. Unity 6000.6 docs describe UnityYAMLMerge as the semantic merge tool for scene, prefab, and meta files, and the Game Developer Unity and Git guide walks through the same conflict and the git mergetool flow.
John Van Scoyoc October 2026 devlogs list three AI-written Unity bugs: invented APIs, fake null on destroyed objects, and renamed serialized fields that lose tuned values. Two are backed by Unity 6 docs. This checklist article is developer observation, not a single project postmortem.
Facepunch Devblog 80 admits a save bug on the original server release of a Thursday patch: long-running servers that updated saw a lot of buildings fall down, while subsequent restarts were fine. The postmortem gives no mechanism, no affected count, and no restore claim, so this article states what is known, keeps the separate sound-pooling problem separate, and turns the incident into patch-day process lessons.
Fall Guys launched on August 4, 2020, free on PlayStation Plus, and more than 120,000 players connected at once — past Mediatonic's highest forecast for the whole day. Matchmaking was switched off for 30 minutes so servers could be beefed up, the game was review-bombed as a 'connection error simulator', and fans then positive-bombed it back to Mostly Positive. The lessons: forecast for your marketing, not your beta, and build the off-switch before launch day.
